If You Don't Jump, You Can't Fly.

As it appears the whole world is going to hell in a silk-lined handbasket, let's get inspirational.


Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he should be, and he will become what he could be. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson


Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. You were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -- Nelson Mandela


Coming together is a beginning.  Keeping together is progress.  Working together is success. -- Henry Ford


All great truths begin as blasphemies. -- George Bernard Shaw


There is nothing impossible to him who will try. -- Alexander the Great


Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson


You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

I've read that Nelson Mandela quote before. Everytime I read it, at first I disagree with it. But really, when you think about it, there's some truth to it.
